About Heilkunst

Heilkunst is a complete system of medicine used to prevent and cure disease. Created by the genius of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann over 200 years ago, the term translates as ‘the art of making one whole’. Heilkunst always respects a physician's Hippocratic oath: 'First, do no harm', and is used to treat both acute and chronic conditions as well as to improve overall health. As it is grounded in natural law, it is a safe and gentle method of health care suitable for any age. Heilkunst treatment encompasses not only homeopathy (medicine using the law of similars), and homotonic prescribing (treating trauma based on its cause), but also regimen (nutrition, hydration, dormition, exercise, mental health) and therapeutic education (the removal of false beliefs and the understanding of how one can make the best choices for ones health).

Heilkunst can be used to treat chronic and acute conditions as well as be a means of preventative treatment. In acute situations, treatment will usually be swift and permanent. With chronic conditions it is important to remember that while the system of Heilkunst is extremely effective, it is not a quick fix. Just as the disease did not appear overnight, neither does true health. Perseverence in treatment and sound choices in all aspects of living will allow for the removal of symptoms and an improvement in your quality of life.

Homeopathy

While the use of homeopathy is just one part of Heilkunst treatment, it is nonetheless a very important component. Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based upon 3 main principles:

1. Like Cures Like

An illness can be treated by a substance capable of producing similar symptoms to those being suffered by the patient.

2. Minimum Dose

Only the minimum dose needed is given. Remedies are taken in an extremely dilute form; normally one part of the remedy to around 1,000,000,000,000 parts of water.

3. One Remedy per Disease

Only one remedy per disease is given. It is through detailed questioning and the powers of observation that a Heilkunstler/Homeopath can discern which diseases a patient is suffering from and which remedies to prescribe to destroy those diseases.

The Sequential Approach to Your Treatment

Before your initial consultation you will be asked to complete a “sequential timeline” describing the emotional and physical traumas that have occurred.through your lifetime. This will then become the guide that you and your practitioner will use as a possible roadmap. A timeline chronologically lists events such as vaccinations, long-term use of medication, injuries, surgeries, and emotional trauma. After addressing any acute complaints you may have, a Heilkunst practitioner treats each event on the timeline using remedies prepared homeopathically that are chosen to treat the causes of each event, starting in the present and working back towards birth. Often you will hear that this treatment is like peeling the layers off an onion, and with the removal of each layer some measure of health is restored.

In addition to working with your timeline, a Heilkünstler will also look at your nutrition and lifestyle in order to ensure we are providing the body and mind with the best foundation possible for health.

Heilkunst treatment is both safe and effective and is appropriate for young and old alike.
